Weekly Saturday morning ride (Auck Uni SMC)

[TIBLE_90]

Probably up north, since the other guys haven't ridden up there before. Um, I think were gonna meet around 9:30, but I'll double check and post up the correct time and place to meet later.

[TIBLE_90]

meet at clock tower at uni at 9:30 am and then head out from there

[Sy]

Sounds like a plan. Catch you then.

[shonofear]

any room for a fella on his baby Bandit 250...
was gonna do a run up North today but since u fellas are heading that way as well, why not tag along.
not exactly sure where the clock tower is at the Uni, i'll google search it though.
happy to go solo though, thought id ask.

cheers

You are welcome to join us and there is always room for any one keen. The Clocktower is on Princess St in the city. Just look out for the group of bikes. :scooter:

[TIBLE_90]

as sy, said, anyone who wants to come along is welcome. We have other 250's riding with us as well, so don't feel like you would slow anyone down or anything like that

Great ride today, we need to organize a track day after exams are done. Very keen to ride hard in a safe environment and get my knee down :yes:

Come to Albany and we'll show you how to knee down. It's nothing dangerous at all. There's a good training ground over there for it.

[TIBLE_90]

where in albany? Not keen to do it on a road with traffic considering the speed you would need to go. A roundabout would be good though

[Slyer]

On a roundabout you're better off leaning your body to the outside and weighting the outside peg. Can turn tighter that way.
Unless we're talking those jumbo roundabouts.

[TIBLE_90]

A medium roundabout would be fine. Not trying to turn tight atm, just want to practice getting knee down.

Now that's quite something for a Saturday Morning effort! :bleh:

[TIBLE_90]

Did a track day last weekend, went for a short ride up 16 on sat but forgot to check kb. Lots of road works on 16 atm with gravel seal in almost every corner so it wasn't a fun ride. There might be a good ride coming up this Sat, well see how many ppl are keen and post up the details later.
